Mаry, а 38-yeаr-оld wоman, had wоrked hard all day as a paralegal at a local law firm. Mary had broken up with her boyfriend about a month ago, and lived alone. Since it had been a stressful day at work, Mary had several glasses of wine, and fell asleep in her bed about 9:00. She was woken abruptly at about midnight when she felt someone on top of her. It was a man wearing a dark ski mask. He immediately covered her mouth before she could scream. He put his mouth up to her ear and gruffly whispered to her that she had better not scream or fight, or he would slit her throat and watch as she bled to death. The man had one of those devices that disguised his voice. He then put duct tape over her mouth and proceeded to rape her. Mary did not see any weapons, but did not try to fight. It was quite dark in the room, but Mary felt that it may be her ex-boyfriend that was raping her. As soon as he was done, he quickly dressed and fled the home. Mary immediately called the police, and the suspect, who did turn out to be her ex-boyfriend, was apprehended about a half mile from her house. He did not have any weapons on him. The most serious crime , if any, that the ex-boyfriend could be charged with is:
